Sales, fixes, graduations and parties

Earlier this week my wife painted this sign and I put it up at the front of the driveway. So far, no takers on anything. We've still got hope though. Every time Rain sees a car drive passed she says, "Buy a pie". She knows they can't hear her from the porch, but she's hoping to plant subliminal messages that'll make them eventually come back. LOL

Last week, or maybe the week before that, I noticed our hose was getting 'bubbles' on it, so I duct taped the crap out of it. So far, no bubbles have broken and it still works to spray any wasps that try to start a nest somewhere on the porch roof. Been noticing the last several days that the wasps flying around the porch are not stopping to build. Perhaps 'the message' saying, "We don't want your nests on the porch" is working. LOL

Yesterday was my daughter'sLAST day at Cosmetology College. Yep, she graduated. Now all we've got to do is submit her paperwork to the powers that be and wait for her temporary license so she can work at A Cut 2 Dye 4 in Buffalo, MO. With the temp license she'll also get a date to take the State Board tests (written & practical). The practical is done by her doing some cutting, coloring, a manicure, etc. to show the judges she actually knows how to cut, style hair and do nail work. After that they'll send her an official license and she'll be good to go! We are VERY proud of her! She's the first one of our immediate family to have a degree. AWESOME!

Also yesterday, was our family friend's daughter's birthday. They had a birthday/pool party at the city pool. Lots of people showed-up and enjoyed the water, food, drink (tea and water), and company. The life guards were especially happy because our friends are the only ones who have food and drinks when they reserve the pool. LOL. Yes, my wife, son, and me all got sun burns. Not bad ones, but burns nonetheless.

Today's agenda: Drive to Springfield, MO and stop at The Next Generation 2's grand opening celebration and buy a raffle ticket that wins the $500 dollar's worth of tattoos. Oh, and eat a little of the food they're having and drink some of whatever drinks they're providing. Don't know if the food and drinks are free or not, but we're hoping they are at least very inexpensive.
